D/Partment’s Metal Bag [001] Makes Everyday Carry Feel Like Gym Day

There are many ways to turn heads with a bag. But rarely in a way that makes you feel like you’re getting a full workout just by carrying it. From the new kid in the lifestyle brand game, D/Partment, comes the Metal Bag [001]—and yes, it is exactly what it says it is. A bag made of metal. Specifically, a 2 mm aluminum shell in a brushed finish for that touch of industrial class.

This bag is part art, part fashion, and all industrial. And trust me, with dimensions of 55 x 80 x 17 cm (about 22 x 31.5 x 6.7 in) and a hefty 4.1 kilograms (~9 lbs)—excluding whatever you throw inside—you will feel every gram of “industrial” when lugging it around. Thankfully, the integrated aluminum handles won’t carve into your hands or shoulders, thanks to a foam-padded shoulder strap with a leather cover for, you know, a hint of luxury.

The details include a laser-engraved D/Partment logo on the lid with a magnetic closure. You may think it’s a prank. It isn’t. I kid you not. This is one of the brand’s debut pieces. And yes, it is totally available to buy. All you need to do is trade US$719 of your hard-earned cash for one. Not cheap, but you can’t really put a number on making an entrance.
